What we like about Bauknecht WMT Style 722 ZEN

  • The 15 min fastest cycle suits a small top-up load.
  • AquaStop protects against leaks.
  • The soft-opening door opens gently.
  • At 58 kg it is light for a machine of this size.
  • The start can be delayed by up to 24 h.
  • Water use of 8900 L a year is a good figure.

What we don't like about Bauknecht WMT Style 722 ZEN

  • Energy use of 174 kWh a year is the main drawback.
  • Spin at 1200 RPM leaves clothes a little damper.
  • It is self-standing, so it cannot tuck under a worktop.
  • Top-loading means the lid needs clear space above it.
  • A 7 kg drum is small for a large family.

Verdict

For a household that does a few loads a week, the Bauknecht WMT Style 722 ZEN is a simple top-loader with a 7 kg drum. At 58 kg it is light for a machine of this size, so it is easier to pull out and clean behind. The AquaStop system guards against leaks, and the door opens softly. The fastest cycle takes 15 min, useful for a small top-up load, and the start can be set up to 24 h ahead. The trade-off is energy use, 174 kWh a year, and spin tops out at 1200 RPM, so the load comes out a little damper. It suits a buyer who wants a plain white machine that stands on its own in a utility room, rather than one hidden behind a kitchen front.
